Hi, I start this when i read in http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/download.html that concerning binaries for version 0.10.3: "All packages have ODBC support (but not OpenGL)."
But at least the windows binary (as stated by shelarcy) and the wxhaskell-bin-powerpc-mac2.6.4-ghc6.8.2-0.10.3-0.dmg have opengl enabled. I tested those two packages my self with code using opengl. So, is just that the information at the webpage is more restricted than the packages :-) best Miguel Vilaça Quoting Conal Elliott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > As long as there's a single binary (per release per platform) I'm for opengl > being part of it. > > On Sat, Mar 29, 2008 at 6:56 AM, Eric Y.
